Political party in Hong Kong
The Victoria Social Association (HKVSA ) was a local political group based in Central and Western District and Wan Chai District , the former area of the Victoria City founded in April 2016.[ 1] The association won one seat in Wan Chai in 2019 District Council election .
History
The association was founded in April 2016 by Chow Sai-kit, who was a former member of the pro-independence Youngspiration . Chow ran in the 2015 District Council election in Kennedy Town & Mount Davis but failed to win a seat. In the 2019 District Council election , four members of the association ran in the election, while only two of them ran under the banner of VSA. Chow himself ran as a substitute candidate for independent Fergus Leung Fong-wai in case Leung was disqualified from running in Kwun Lung . While Fung was elected, Li Wing-choi who represented the association won a seat in Victoria Park , as well as two members who ran as independents, Pang Ka-ho and Ho Chi-wang won in Sai Wan and Water Street respectively.[ 2]
Beijing mouthpiece Wen Wei Po accused the VSA of being pro-independence, citing chairman Chow Sai-kit former membership of Youngspiration and Li Wing-choi's opposition to the proposed National Anthem Bill .[ 3] The association refuted by claiming that the news report was fabricated and reserved the right to sue.[ 1]
